Purple Rain

Purple Rain is a smoky violet-gray with a cool, shadowed cast. The violet-gray base gives quiet depth. Purple Rain works for a guest room, office, or powder room when a plain gray feels too flat.

On a broad wall, the purple is subtle but present. Pair Purple Rain with soft ivory and light wood to keep the room from feeling closed in. In north light, test carefully, because it can turn more charcoal than violet.
